The AP announced this season's 28-player Division 7-8 All-State team Tuesday.

Reau averaged 12.7 tackles per game during the regular season. His season high for tackles was 29 against Whiteford. He spearheaded a defense that allowed 198 total yards and 11.3 points per game.

Britton Deerfield made its second straight playoff appearance and advanced to the Division 7 regional finals.

"I thought he was an All-State performer ever since he was a sophomore," Britton Deerfield coach DJ Lutz said. "The kid doesn't say more than five words, but he works so hard and has a great nose for the football. When we watched film on Saturday mornings, No. 27 was in on tackle after tackle after tackle. The other team would send two guys at him, and it really didn't matter."

Harrah averaged 16.9 tackles in Lenawee Christian's return to a varsity schedule. He forced three fumbles, recovered two fumbles, broke up three passes and recorded an interception.

Harrah became the first All-State player in program history.

"Brad is a key component in all areas of our program," Lenawee Christian coach Scott Gallagher said. "He's a natural leader that leads by example. He approaches everything he does with intensity and passion. On the field, he plays the game the way it was meant to be played. He never wants to come off the field. He gives 100 percent at all times, and he sets an expectation for his teammates to live up to."
